Bull Reds or slot size whatever you're looking for. Fishing in the Pensacola Pass area is your best bet for big fish. For locating the fish try trolling with diving plugs like the Mann’s stretch 25, or drift fishing with bait on the bottom, a variety of live and dead baits will work. If the slot fish are what you would rather target, try looking around the docks in Santa Rosa Sound and in Choctawhatchee Bay look to the east. Try Hogtown Bayou and on to the east from there along the banks at the river mouths.
Flounder fishing continues to be slow for both rod-and-reel anglers and gigger’s alike. It's late in the season for them to be moving, so expect a heavy run when they do decide to move. Live minnows will work great, but Berkley Gulp shrimp.
There are still a few King Mackerel being caught around the Pensacola Bay Bridge and the old Bay Front Auditorium, but they are thinning out a lot. The menhaden have started moving from the bayous out into the bay, and so have the fish.
You're more likely to find trout on the grass than anywhere else, but once the water temperature drops a few more degrees, they'll begin making their way to the rivers, bayous and canals. Popping corks are a great way to fish the flats when using live bait. If you prefer artificial lures, try Berkley Gulp jerk baits and SPRO’s Dawg 100 walking plug.
I know one thing for sure - You ain’t going to catch’em sittin’ on the couch!!
So get out there, and take a kid fishing.
Tight Lines and Screaming Drags, Till Next Time! God Bless.
